# Introducing Sandbox, the fastest way to play with Fleet
![Fleet sandbox](../website/assets/images/articles/introducing-fleet-sandbox-1600x900@2x.jpg)
Have you ever been excited about a shiny, new toy, only to find out it wasnt as cool as the commercial made it seem?
Thats no fun. At Fleet, our open-source philosophy means [we believe in transparency](https://fleetdm.com/transparency). We could tell you all about what Fleet can do for your organization — from [tracking compliance](https://fleetdm.com/securing/stay-on-course-with-your-security-compliance-goals) to [detecting vulnerabilities](https://fleetdm.com/engineering/linux-vulnerability-detection-with-oval-and-fleet). Or you can play with Fleet yourself. You dont even have to wait for your birthday.
Introducing Sandbox: The fastest way to start playing with Fleet on your device. Its simple to set up, easy to use, and totally free.
## Get started in minutes

</div>
Instead of asking you to go through extra steps, we set up your Fleet instance on one of our servers. Then its as easy as 1-2-3.
1. **Create your account.** Provide an email and password.
2. **Download the installer.** Choose the OS on your device.
3. **Run the package.** Register your device as a host.
Thats all there is to it. If you do run into difficulties, you can easily [create an issue](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug%2C%3Areproduce&template=bug-report.md&title=) or [send a Slack message](https://fleetdm.com/slack). Well respond with a solution as quickly as possible.
Youll have 24 hours to access Fleet Sandbox. Well pause your account once your session ends. So, start playing right away! There are a lot of toys to try.
## Test all our queries
Like any good sandbox, youll have the freedom to play your way. Do you have a specific question about your workstation? See how easy it is to create custom queries with the Fleet UI.
Maybe you arent so comfortable with code. No sweat. Explore the query library. Security specialists and IT administrators from the Fleet community have vetted all these queries. And they all come pre-loaded with Sandbox.
If you dont have time for a custom setup, Fleet Sandbox comes out of the box with common security policies — providing a snapshot of your devices security.
## Try it with your team
Were sure youll have fun with Fleet Sandbox. But telling people about your unique experience only goes so far. Sometimes you just had to be there.
Thats why you should share Sandbox with members of your team. No need to create multiple accounts. Just send the installer to a few team members. Since you only have 24 hours to access Sandbox, we suggest sharing it with people who would be active users — so you and your team can make the most of your trial.
Letting members of your team try Sandbox provides a clearer picture of what your workday would look like with Fleet. Plus, youll have more people to help you decide whether Fleet is right for your organization.
## See for yourself
Sandbox makes it easy to see what kind of data you can collect with Fleet. From full disk encryption and healthy antivirus software to MDM enrollment and enabled firewalls. Those insights are just from a few of the queries in our library.
You can keep learning about Fleet after your Sandbox session expires. [Join the Fleet community on Slack](https://fleetdm.com/slack) to stay up to date.
Are you ready to get your hands dirty? [Try Fleet Sandbox on your device today](https://fleetdm.com/get-started).
